How to Protect Yourself

In certain instances, you may have the opportunity to receive or create a password to access or submit personally identifiable information. You should not divulge a password to anyone, and the SCA will never ask a user for a password in a telephone call, fax, e-mail or other form of unsolicited communication. When you are finished with an online session that is password protected, you should exit or close the relevant page(s). If the browser used to access password-protected pages is on a publicly accessible computer (e.g., kiosk or Internet cafe), you should close down the entire session and, if possible, flush any temporary caches or other areas where such a password might be stored subsequent to use.

The SCA may change this policy from time to time, and reserves the right to do so without notice.
